that trains could pass. The draw bars of
the shifter cars were nearly all fractured and
the COW catcher of the freight was slightly
injured. The cars, however, escaped unhurt.
Two or three hundred dollars would repair
the damage. One passenger, J. II. Wey-
mouth, standing up in the saloon car, was
thrown from his feet, his knee wrenched and
hand injured He went home on the morn
ing accommodation train. There is some
dispute ss to who was to blame.
Engineer Low says he was on time, while
Mr.. Freeman, who was responsible for the
moving of the yard train, says he was ahead
OF time. If Mr.. Low was just on time, then
tue blame lay with the yard-master. The
freight was due at the yard at 1925 A. M.
